ANAHEIM - The Ducks secured their first win of the preseason tonight against the rival LA Kings - or at least a bunch of guys in Kings uniforms.

The Ducks earned their first victory of the 2017 preseason with a 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings at Honda Center. The homestand concludes Sunday (5 p.m.) with the Honda Center debut of the Vegas Golden Knights, who are in their inaugural season in the National Hockey League.

If there are such things as homestands during the preseason, the Ducks are in the midst of one right now. This marks the second of three consecutive games at Honda Center during exhibition play, as tonight the Ducks welcome the visiting LA Kings.

All seemed fine through the first 19 minutes and 50 seconds of the first period, the Ducks and San Jose Sharks seconds away from heading into the intermission tied. Then, the Sharks scored. And when the puck dropped to begin the second period, they scored again, and again, and again, and again.

The Ducks announced today the club's 2017 preseason broadcast schedule. The team's first preseason game is this evening against the San Jose Sharks at 7 p.m. PST (XEPRS 1090 AM). The regular season broadcast schedule will be announced at a later date.
